SPIN - 24 Summer albums that matter most!

The Skinny: As a rule, it's wise to pay attention to dragons of
pretty much any size or nationality, but this Little Dragon from Sweden
is especially significant. The group has made some noteworthy friends
while bubbling up in the past few years, among them Damon Albarn from
Gorillaz, Dave Sitek from TV on the Radio, and someone in the music
department at Grey's Anatomy, who liked Little Dragon enough to
use their breakout song "Twice." At the core of all that admiration is
an alternately propulsive and delicate sound dictated by strains of
electro and the striking vocal coo of Yukimi Nagano, none of which is
likely to be dialed down on their third album Ritual Union.

Fast Fact: Frontwoman Nagano, born in Sweden to a Japanese
father and an American mother, evidently has something of a temper
despite her quietude otherwise -- hence the nickname Little Dragon.
